Rossana (Con't)
Tribute to Patsy Cline

Finally, recognising that the audience response to her version of the much copied Patsy Cline could be her ticket, the Forever Patsy show was conceived and mounted with Rossana as the star. Not content to perform just the music, it was decided that care had to be taken with the overall package to make it the ultimate experience for the audience.

Therefore, besides hearing Patsy's "voice", channeled through Rossana, those who attend Forever Patsy also "see" Patsy Cline. Rossana has adopted the appearance of the 50s superstar with costumes based on the western gear the late diva wore on her myriad appearances on such TV shows of the past as Arthur Godfrey's show. She also moves on to the gowns that became her new look following the traffic accident that almost ended Cline's life.
There have been, of course, many shows paying tribute to Patsy Cline over the years, and, in some cases, they have provided a pathway to stardom for many a young hopeful. Rossana Holmes is now in the category of young hopeful, but the reaction to her performances across Canada lead one to think that, perhaps, one day, another young hopeful may be performing in a show called Forever Rossana. There are rumors that she has already been nominated for the Directors Award for a Rising Star Cloney by a member of the International Guild of Celebrity Impersonators and Tribute Artists and fingers are crossed that she will be the winner at their event in 2003.
